Bundled Japanese PS3 Cables Are Way Low Tech
According to the newest issue of Famitsu, the 20GB and the 60GB models will be packaged with a power cord, USB cable, ethernet cable and standard AV cable.
Yep, that's all folks. That means in Japan the box does not include HDMI cables. There's been no announcement from Sony as to what the America consoles will be bundled with. On the good side, the PS3's AV Multi Out interface accepts the same cables used with the PS2.
